Unhappy I agree but

When the Roman's were in their hay-day everyone hated the Romans. Little wars were always the norm. When the Spanish discovered the gold of the New World and became the richest country there was, no one liked them. The English, the Dutch, even the Turks and French took shots at them. During most of the 1800s the sun never set on the British Empire. Thus, they were always at war with some country who was trying to take a swing at the he-bull.
Well, we are the biggest and baddest boys on the block. Like those that came before us, we are admired but not liked. It will stay that way until some other country becomes the most powerful. Terrorism is another way of saying, "We can't fight with you toe to toe so we'll cause you some problems just to say we did so."
Without the USSR around anymore, expect little guys to take a sucker punch whenever they get half a chance. It's sad but as far as terrorism, we aint seen nothing yet.
I really do hope I'm wrong.

Stay healthy,
Andy
